    Screwing around

    Very cool Chris. I'm planning on doing the same thing in a couple of years when the bike is off warranty. Any technical issues getting the computer interfaced with the ECU? EFI is certainly a long way from changing a couple of jets. :-) Keep us posted with your mods. :c Cheers.

    Hello from Missouri !

    Greetings from a fellow newbie to the NBR forum. I just purchased my new Thruxton and I had the same dilemma as you did. There are very few used Thruxtons that come available here in Ontario, Canada. I've got three old beasts from the seventies that have had any number of abuses done to them...

    Been Gone Awhile

    Great job on making that thing shine. She looks better than new. I hope that my 1970 RE Interceptor looks as nice when it's done. Happy riding on your Trumpet this summer. Cheers.

    How old and how many years have you been riding?

    I can only hope that I have the capabilities to still be riding well into my seventies. That's awesome and I hope you guys have lots of great years ahead of you. I'm 48 and have been riding on and off since the age of 14. I got my licence when I was 16 and rode a friend's CB400/4 for three...

    sales record

    That's good news for Triumph and continued success for the company is also good news for owners. I know that it can be quite challenging and expensive to maintain a motorcycle that was built by a company that is no longer in business. I bought my bike last month from GP Bikes and it's nice to...

    Hi from Central California

    Greetings Brent, from a fellow newbie to the NBR forum. You've got a great looking machine there. I wouldn't mention that you can ride your bike year round too often as you'll drive us poor northerners nuts with jealousy:-). Cheers from Canada

    Another new member from Ontario, Canada Eh?

    Couldn't have said it better, especially after this past weekend! Breaking a February record for cold that's stood since the 1930's isn't helping my mental state much at all.

    finished my thruxton build

    Cool looking machine vitz and a quality build. The upside downs on the front are probably one step further than I'm planing to go with my Thrux, but I bet she handles amazing. Great job dude. Cheers.

    Hello from Los Angeles

    Hey Shawn. Greetings from a fellow new member here at NBR. Thanks for sharing the pics and the factory tour. Nice to see you like the old bikes as well as the new ones. I have a few 'project' bikes that keep me busy, but I'm looking forward to being out on the road on the new Thruxton this...

    Another new member from Ontario, Canada Eh?

    Hey Seth. Thanks for the welcome. I was checking out your brackets for the clocks. You do some great work. I think I'll wait a year or so to see how the Thrux works, but I'll keep you in mind if I move the key up top. Cheers. Gary

    Babes On Bikes *NSFW*

    My Second Official Post (after my welcome post) Once I introduced myself on the welcome page, I wanted my second post to the NBR forum to be meaningful, deep, and well received. So....here she is. :-) Hopefully this isn't a repost of a recent picture. Cheers. :canada:

    Another new member from Ontario, Canada Eh?

    I just dropped a down payment on a 2014 Thruxton this past weekend. Got a pretty good deal as they were clearing out last year's stock to make room for the 2015's. It's been great reading through everyone's comments on the forum, and looking at the pictures of your machines. Once the bloody...
